•CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK Mr. Horvath replied, Sure, yeah. Committeemember Voorde followed up, I mean, I certainly don't drive around the City looking for them but based on the number of calls we get and the Council's push for Light Up South Bend, we would like to see more. Dr. Boyles replied,That seems like a fun project for interns to do next time. Go around and collect the data. Committeemember Voorde replied, Well, I might be looking for part-time work! Councilmember Tim Scott stated, I'll teach you a trick where you can get the lights on in about three (3) days, John. But, two (2) things. The storm water, you know, we did that utility fee and one(1)thing I've brought up before and it's still a concern, I don't know if you have anywhere in your priorities for 2020, some of the curb and sidewalks we put together say on Roosevelt and other places by Keller Park,we've created a drainage issue. People are parking in lakes. So, I hope some of those come up to the top and reflect what Vice President Madam Chair White said about working in the neighborhoods. I'm glad to see the expansion of the traffic calming. That has been a major issue. I hope you can look at the far northwest neighborhood. Every north-south street, and I know I've brought this up many times, but between Lathrop and Lincolnway, those are nothing but highways. I like that fact that you guys are working with the School Corporation on some of those issues.The issue of not only congestion and bottlenecking,but we have speed issues, too. Those are part of the speed humps on College, but we have to look at Marquette and some other streets. The rest of my points, I will put together and email to you all. Thank you. Councilmember Jake Teshka stated, I have several questions. The big one (1) I wanted to clarify is, the County is widening Douglas, and that displaces our lift station, which is in their right-of- way? Dr. Boyles replied, Yes. Councilmember Teshka followed up, And you said the project itself, likely, won't take place until 2022? Mr. Horvath confirmed,Yes. Councilmember Teshka then asked, So,we aren't budgeting it?You are just giving us a heads up? Dr. Boyles replied, Giving you a heads up, correct. Councilmember Teshka replied, Ok,because I'm seeing that$2.2 million and I'm thinking, that is twenty-two (22) lane miles of paving. Dr. Boyles replied, I sent them a letter and asked them to give me an easement since we've been there since 1960.
